An Kexin detected the embarrassment and shyness hidden in Lin Jie's words!
In that instant, the image of professionalism and reliable steadiness that Lin Jie had built up in An Kexin's heart through this surgery collapsed, transforming into a pure-hearted young boy.
An Kexin held back the urge to laugh out loud, rummaged through the storage locker to find a urine bag, blushing with a bit of panic, and clumsily put it on for Lin Jie.
Perhaps due to psychological factors, the fully equipped Lin Jie didn't release any tension and quickly resumed an almost self-forgetful working state!
After about twenty minutes, Lin Jie put down the instruments in his hand and said to Chen Lan, "I'll leave the final wrap-up work to you!"
Having witnessed the entire surgical process, Chen Lan no longer had any doubts whatsoever about Lin Jie's skills.
Faced with Lin Jie's instructions, Chen Lan unconsciously used honorifics, respectfully saying, "Rest assured, I know what to do!"
As a surgical assistant, after the chief surgeon completes the main part of the surgery, they are typically responsible for suturing the patient's wound, recording the surgical data at the time, verifying the number of surgical tools and medical gauze, and transferring the patient for post-operative checks.
Situations like gauze or scissors being left in the patient's abdomen usually stem from poor hospital management, where the surgical assistant and nurses fail to diligently check the final counts.
For instance, according to strict operating room regulations, no matter how much medical gauze is used during the surgery, they must all be accounted for and matched by count before the patient leaves the operating room.
The moment Lin Jie walked out of the operating room, he suddenly felt dazed.
An irresistible wave of extreme fatigue swept over him, making him wish he could lie down right there and sleep for three days and nights.
He understood that this was the backlash from his body after his work-induced adrenaline wore off.
Lin Jie took a deep breath, shook his head to force away the fatigue!
Once he felt slightly refreshed, he removed his mask and told Zhang Daya's parents, who had rushed over, along with Luo Shanshan, who had been with them, "The surgery went very smoothly, without any unexpected issues. I can say it fully met my pre-surgery expectations!"
"However, the specific outcomes of the surgery won't be known until a week later."
Luo Shanshan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She could see Lin Jie's forced perseverance, and the fatigue he couldn't fully conceal, so she said with concern, "Lin Jie, go and rest. Leave everything else to me. I'll be on duty tonight and will take good care of Daya!"
Lin Jie nodded and said, "You're aware of the post-operative care instructions, so I won't say much more. I'll leave it all to you!"
After saying goodbye to the repeatedly grateful Zhang Daya's parents, Lin Jie returned to his office on the third floor, relieved himself, drank a cup of hot water, and ate two pieces of chocolate, which somewhat improved his physical state.
Lin Jie didn't rush to take a hot shower or go to bed; instead, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, assessing his current physical condition.
He estimated that he hadn't yet reached his physical limit and that he could probably endure one more hour of such an intense level of surgery.
However, in Lin Jie's calculations, this stamina was far from sufficient.
The blood clot removal surgery for Lin Miao would take about eight hours, and An Weize's tumor removal surgery would take approximately twelve hours.
Currently, he could barely last for five hours, signaling that his journey for physical training remained a long one.
Thinking of this, Lin Jie decided to forgo his original plan to rest and seize this surgical opportunity to push his limits and explore his body's potential.
Makes no delay, Lin Jie started doing aerobics in the office.
But just as he was starting his third round of aerobics, An Kexin showed up uninvited.
Having shed her surgical gear, An Kexin slumped wearily into a consultation chair, rubbing her sore calf, saying, "Lin Jie, do you want to hear what Dr. Chen Lan, Dr. Yang Jinglong, and Aunt Yu Fang have to say about you?"
Lin Jie casually replied, "I don't want to hear it—my capabilities don't need others' evaluations, and they don't even have the qualification to judge me!"
This statement brought An Kexin to a sudden halt, pausing even her calf massage!
She suddenly realized.
The renowned Hu Yuanqing couldn't perform the surgery, but Lin Jie dared; and this vocal cord repair surgery, according to Luo Shanshan, was also of world-class difficulty!
Doesn't this imply that Lin Jie's actual surgical capabilities, if not at the world-class level, are at least at the top domestic level!
For such a significant figure, with a proper identity, let alone the likes of Chen Lan, even Hu Yuanqing would not dare to pass judgment!
With this realization, An Kexin stood up from her chair immediately!
She adjusted her clothes and made a deep bow to Lin Jie, saying, "I'm sorry, Lin Jie! Please forgive my actions of staying in the operating room against your wishes."
"Please trust me when I say that from today onwards, I have not a slightest doubt, and all your requirements will be met to the fullest!"
Lin Jie didn't expect that a casual comment from him would cause such a change in An Kexin's attitude!
However, it seemed like a good thing to him— being respected is always better than being ignored.
With An Kexin's attitude shift, Lin Jie didn't seize the opportunity to act haughty but softly said, "Sister Kexin, you are too serious. I understand your thoughts and concerns. If I were in your shoes, I might have behaved even more excessively."
"Honestly speaking, we appear to be in a cooperative relationship."
"I assume you can see that my main goal is to use this opportunity to perform surgery on my sister!"
"For Miaomiao's surgery, I will give my all; for Uncle An's surgery, I will also dedicate myself fully!"
An Kexin earnestly replied, "I truly have no doubt in your words."
"To be honest, ever since I learned about my father's condition, I have been in deep worry yet full of hope, but never have I felt so at ease as in this moment."
"Lin Jie, you are not only a blessing to Kemeng but also a blessing to my father, and indeed, a blessing to our whole family!"
For a moment, Lin Jie felt a bit embarrassed by the compliments.
Fortunately, at this time, Chen Lan, Yang Jinglong, and Yu Fang came over specifically to say goodbye!
Since they were notified at rather short notice, they either took leave or found someone to cover their shifts, and they all had things in the evening that couldn't keep them here longer.
Lin Jie could sense that their attitudes towards him had noticeably changed, realizing that the additional effects from the surgery had worked well.
He smiled and said, "When you're available, come over here, and I'll treat you to the most authentic and freshest seafood feast."
Yang Jinglong grinned and said, "Dr. Lin, I'm keeping your words in mind. When you're free, I'll definitely come over to disturb you!"
The ability Lin Jie displayed commanded Yang Jinglong's respect and made him value his age even more!
Yang Jinglong was very confident that with Lin Jie's skills, the issues concerning so-called identity, medical practice qualifications, and other matters will eventually be resolved properly.
At that time, Lin Jie will surely become a figure of national treasure-like expertise, and building a good personal relationship with him now carries countless future benefits without any harm.
Not only Yang Jinglong, but also Chen Lan and the elderly Yu An saw the value in Lin Jie.
After exchanging a few polite words with Lin Jie and An Kexin, they all took their leave.
Once the three left, An Kexin also asked, "Lin Jie, are you staying here to rest tonight, or are you heading back to the city?"
Lin Jie, thinking of his plan to push his limits and explore potential, honestly said, "I'm staying here tonight, but it's not for resting. It's for training!"
"I need to gauge my physical limits to be well-prepared for Miaomiao and Uncle An's surgeries!"
An Kexin beamed brightly and said, "Then I'll stay and keep you company. Training alone would surely be boring!"
